Can you pull to start ?

No!
The clutch only engaged at (x) engine rpm. So it would just free wheel under less.

Or do you mean via a "pull start"?
That's a no too. It's not a feature.
Thanks.

So if you cannot pull it to start can you tow it at 70 mph and not harm the transmission?

NO! The engine/trans need to be operational for oil to flow and lube all the moving pieces. You'll do some damage if you tow it quickly with no lubrication (I know I'm leaving the gutter open, resist temptation @JACKAL)

good to know ,thanks. I guess it needs a kick starter for when the batteries dead. Good reason to have dual batteries with isolator|||
